The typically-Maltese shift in weather from gloomy grays to scorching sun is a surefire sign that summer is finally around the corner and as our wardrobe begins to change, so do our tools & appliances.

The advent of the summer season brings with it an arsenal of essentials we unknowingly incorporate into daily routines and without even acknowledging it, our mind has already accepted that our favourite season is finally with us. That said, here are 5 essential tools you break out when you know summer is coming:

Fans, fans, fans!

When its a bit too hot for cracking the window open but not hot enough to turn on the air conditioning, these trusty tools have stood the test of time. The mere sight of a fan is truly a sign that summer is coming and when you’re hit by that refreshing breeze for the first time, you are finally ready.

FBP offer a fine range of domestic and industrial air cooling units with brands like Venti, Evernal and Soffnet, with some of the best prices in the market.

Gas barbecues

Everyone’s favourite summer event. Few summer scents compare to the enchanting aroma of grilled Maltese sausages and vegetables on a scorching barbecue grill and if you’re looking for a quality barbecue unit which will serve you well for one season after the other, FBP is the place to go.

The trusty local supply brand offers a variety of Gusto Griglia gas barbecues which vary in price to accommodate any budget so rest assured that this summer, it’s BBQ season.

Portable Air Conditioner

The absolutely undeniable summer essential, in portable form. When you finally give in to the hat and one fan just isn’t enough to accommodate the entire squad, these small and compact portable air conditioners come in clutch. Their new generation self-evaporative technology and L-shaped evaporator make them the ultimate summer tool.

With units ranging in price and strength, if you’ve never tried the power and comfort of a portable air conditioning unit, now is probably the time.

Pressure washers

Whether it’s a car or a boat you own, cleanliness is key during the summer months. There’s nothing quite like the glossy shine of a clean vehicle under the Maltese summer sun and unfortunately, it’s rather difficult to maintain due to the constant wave of dust and air particles a result of Malta’s busy landscape.

Thankfully, FBP offer a range of Total Pressure Washers which are perfect for boat cleaning, car detailing and household service so whether you’re after a domestic or industrial washer, you should check out their range ASAP.

Hand dryers

Cleanliness should always be a priority, regardless of the season, but Malta’s summer weather means that you’ll be going out and socialising more often. With the increase in temperatures and higher-than-ever need to wash our hands, hand dryers are as important as ever.

You’ll find a hand dryer in almost every restaurant, cafeteria, business and public toilet in Malta & Gozo and if you’re a business owner and haven’t invested already, this is your sign to get in touch with FBP and get your business some high-quality equipment.

You’ll find these products and more at Firm B. Pullicino, a family run business established in 1985 which imports and distributes a comprehensive range of DIY materials, building apparatus and home improvement products at incredible prices.

But don’t take our word for it, check them out for yourself!
